CORRESPONDENCE

Mr. Pritchett noted that a letter had been sent to the paper by a Mr. Jarvis, a new homeowner in the District, concerning his displeasure over the District’s use of an imputed water use factor for determining his sewer rates. This rate will be in effect until the next wet month average is calculated in 2006. Mr. Pritchett offered that a letter would be prepared for the Board President to sign to more fully explain the wet month average system for establishing sewer rates. The Board concurred with this proposal.

STAFF REPORTS

General Counsel: Pritchett related the current status of the discussions with Pierce County over sewer service to the Lloyd Development property within King County in the south part of the District. Lloyd’s wants sewer service to be provided to their multi-phase, mixed-use development by the District. Pierce County claims service area jurisdiction through the contractual operation of the Milton sewer system. The District is able to serve the property and believes that Lakehaven retains service jurisdiction for the property. Mr. Pritchett stated that a meeting between himself and the legal representatives of the County and Lloyd Development was being set up. Mr. Pritchett informed the Board that he and other staff had met with the Department of Fisheries legal and staff representatives to review the situation with the Lakota Creek fish ladder and the dispute over responsibility for the Department’s claim that structures were inadequate to pass fish. During the meeting the group viewed the ladder and discovered that the log weir in question had failed and was in need of repair. Mr. Bowman stated that he hoped that PACE Engineers, who performed the design for an upgrade to the fish ladder, could be brought in to complete the fairly simple design for the repair, which the District would make. The Board indicated its concurrence with this plan.

At 6:30 p.m. the Conservation Calendar Poster Awards presentation began. Linda Kochmar introduced the Board and staff in attendance. Also introduced were Superintendent Tom Murphy and Director Charlie Hoff of the Federal Way School District. A number of teachers and principals from the participating schools were introduced as well. Ms. Kochmar gave an overview of the Conservation Poster contest.
